My Mango Lassi Protein Smoothie recipe is inspired by the flavours of the Indian drink, just as a high protein, healthier version!
Chicken Pakora, Chicken Shahi Korma Recipe, Cilantro-Mint Chutney Recipe, Coriander Chicken, Cucumber Raita, Mixed Vegetable Pakora, Paneer Burgers Recipe, Paneer Pakora, Homemade Samosa, a Tandoori Spiced Chicken Burger with Mango Recipe, and more.
I even have recipes for Gluten-Free Samosas, a Keto Chicken Biryani, Low Carb Butter Chicken, and a Keto Chicken Samosa!
Anyway, while we enjoy cooking Indian cuisine, we do still order out from time to time... and when we do, sometimes we order Mango Lassi drinks to go with our meal.
We have a recipe for Mango Lassi Popsicles, btw.
Anyway, when I found myself with a bunch of frozen mango chunks... obviously a high protein Mango Lassi-inspired smoothie was definitely going to happen!
“Inspired” being key here. While I LOVE the sweetened canned mango pulp that’s used for lassis... well, I’ve been known to stretch the limits of what’s considered a healthy smoothie, but that might be a step too far.
The carbs would be absolutely off the chart. Delicious, of course... but yeah.
So, this one uses frozen mango, protein powder, yogurt, and yes, a bit of cardamom. It’s not as in-your-face mango as the source material, but it’s a lovely drink - that’s actually healthy!
Anyway, let’s look at what you’ll need for these protein smoothies!
Ingredients
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these mango lassi protein smoothies ... and I only have a few short ingredient notes for you:
Vanilla Flavored Protein Powder
This recipe uses Vanilla Flavored Whey Protein Powder.
Personally, I keep a big canister of Revolution Nutrition's High Whey in Vanilla Cake on hand at all times, and use it in a TON of my recipe - baked goods, beverages, etc.
Use whatever vanilla protein powder that you like to drink, and fits your macros.
Frozen Mango Chunks
Not a ton to say here, other than you’re really going to want to use frozen. If you cut up fresh mangos, you’re going to need a LOT - much more economical to buy pre-frozen mango.
On that note, if you prefer to use thawed mango (I get it, I’m not always into having SUPER cold drinks!)... measure first, then thaw.
If you thaw it first, it’ll mush a bit and condense - 2 cups of thawed mango will be WAY more mango than if you measure before thawing.
Delicious, of course - but your macros will be very different!
Unsweetened Almond Milk
Unsweetened Almond Milk has been my milk of choice for years now. It was a great dairy-free option when I could no longer handle cow’s milk, and it’s a fantastic, low carb option in general.
When it comes down to it, though... depending on your macros, you can use pretty much any kind of milk in this recipe.
As far as non dairy milk goes, Oat milk, Cashew Milk, Flax Milk, Macadamia Milk and Coconut Milk are all good options.
Almond is the most neutral tasting option, though - so just know that the other plant based milks may change the overall flavour of the mango lassi protein smoothie a bit.
Anyway, beyond the non-dairy milk options, regular milk works, too - just a bit higher carb.
You can use whatever you like, but I’d recommend at least 2% fat, for texture reasons. Whole milk is great... I find 1% / skim milk to be too watery, IMHO.
Everything Else
Rounding out this recipe, you will need:
Plain Greek Yogurt
Honey
Cardamom Powder (Can use cinnamon)
... I just don’t have anything to add, as far as these last few ingredients go. Pretty basic ones!
